Spellborn
Starter Area Changes

Overhauled city of Hawksmouth,
new lighting engine and High House Silver in final splendor

Developer Spellborn NV has rolled
out a new content patch to the Closed Beta version of The Chronicles of
Spellborn. Since today the city of Hawksmouth boasts an improved design and
environment. This change was motivated by technical and immersion reasons to
make sure new adventurers of The Chronicles of Spellborn benefit from the best
gaming experience possible. By reducing the graphic load on the server and by
placing High House Silver and Torque in a new area of the city, Spellborn
Developers made sure this beginner zone is ready for release.

In addition to this overhaul, a new
lighting engine has been shipped to this latest Closed Beta version.
Strengthening the immersive and realistic elements of Spellborn, this new engine
allows for sharper and clearer experience than previously.

Last but not least, the imposing
palace of High House Silver now resides in the new area of the starter town
Hawksmouth. Players can join one of the High Houses in the game as soon as they
have reached Fame Level 10 in the online-role-playing game. Once aligned to one
of the High Houses, adventurers will experience the multi-facetted background
story spinning around the disintegrated game world composed out of several large
shard realms. This story is told differently depending on which faction the
player chooses. A developer journal now tells about the origin and development
of the High Houses in general and the splendid Silver High House in particular.

As the High House palace has just
been integrated into the currently closed beta version, interested fantasy
heroes can still register to join in on the official website
www.tcos.com. Developer
Spellborn intends to expand the beta pool to larger player numbers soon. The
Chronicles of Spellborn will be released on November, 27th in Europe and North
America.
